The Coastal Stewards Kickoff 2024

Join us for a momentous occasion on the eve of the BIG GAME as we proudly unveil The Coastal Stewards new headquarters in the heart of Briny Breezes, Florida. Inspired by the town's embrace of old-world values and a simpler way of life, Briny Breezes provides the perfect backdrop for our mission to ignite transformative change in South Florida's imperiled marine life and coastal ecosystems.

At The Coastal Stewards, we are dedicated to fostering lifelong champions for the sea turtles, manatees, whales, and dolphins that grace our coastal waters. Our innovative approach utilizes technology to share compelling narratives, and we actively collaborate with like-minded organizations in observation, rescue, transportation, rehabilitation, research, and release of these magnificent marine beings.The grand opening of our new headquarters is not just a celebration of a physical space but a symbolic embrace of the shared values that resonate with Briny Breezes. Our mission's pillars—sustainability, engagement, and awareness—guide us toward a brighter, thriving coastal future. Come for food, family fun, educational presentations and more.
